how do you make a drop down list where you can choose more than one item on
the list?

and once you make a template with a drop down list, how do you save a
document with the drop down list choice you chose?

You don't, at least not without defining your own list object in VBA. Only
one list item can be selected at a time - think of the items in the list as 1
OR 2 OR 3 OR 4. If you want users to be able to select multiple items, use
Check Box fields instead.

document with the drop down list choice you chose?

Assuming you mean you want to have a 'default selection' appear in the Drop
Down Form Field when a new doc is created based on the template, open the
template, turn Protection off, double-click the field to get into Options,
select the item you want as the default & use the up/down buttons to move it
to the top of the list.
